Big Brother of 8

I was looking through old pictures of our big brother Doug, and I realized that not much has changed. What a great brother we are all so lucky to have! Happy Birthday, Doug. We love you!

1. Mom and Dad are still as hip and stylish as ever.

2. Doug still wears clothes that are 5 sizes too big.

P.s. I thought this picture kind of looked like Tucker.

3.…still feels the need to be obnoxious and annoy the heck out of Danny.

4. the boys still wear Dad's clothes…. and they're still too big.

5. Jossy is still the smallest.

6. Dad's still building TeePee's. (look in the background)

7. ...still bossing us around (but playing nicely with us too of course)

8. … still has a body like he works out on a regular basis.

9. …still teaching Nat to surf. (and she's still not getting it)

10. Ellie's still the only one he doesn't beat up. Oh, and we are

still sleeping outside.

We love you, Doug!

"Give thanks to the great spirit"

I thought everybody might enjoy this little video of mom! Everybody loves her and we can all see why I think. What a fun mom we have that works so hard in the home keeping up the laundry, cooking the meals, and always finding time to sit and talk or give advise. "Give thanks to the great mom...Give thanks..."
